Abstract: A retaining device for frictionally retaining two mobile parts of a thermostatically controlled mixing valve. The first part (2) of the mixing valve contains a cavity having a side wall (40), a top wall (41) and a bottom wall (42). An O-ring type packing washer (9) is disposed in the cavity and frictionally grips a surface of the second mobile part (13). The axial distance between top wall (41) and bottom wall (42) of the cavity is less than the cross-sectional diameter in the axial direction of the ring-shaped packing washer (9). The packing washer (9) is thus compressed axially and establishes a frictional hold between the top wall (41) and bottom wall (42) of the cavity and the axially extending surface of the second mobile part (13). The diameter of the cavity is greater than the diameter of the compressed ring-shaped packing washer (9) thereby forming a ring-shaped space or chamber between the washer (9) and the side wall (40). This ring-shaped space communicates with a water holding area of the mixing valve through a groove (43) in the bottom wall (42) of the cavity.

Abstract: A means and method for protecting a windshield from damage and therefore the development of cracks due to stone or other impact on windshields around the peripheral area. An impact resistant barrier is placed around the periphery of the windshield. The barrier is preferably a clear polymeric film, but could be opaque rubber plastic or metal. The barrier is placed on the glass surface and in contact adjacent to the windshield molding. The width of the barrier is selected to eliminate the higher incidence of damage to the peripheral area.

Abstract: A technique for configuring arrays of programmable logic cells, including those associated with FPGA devices, through a novel DRAM-based configuration control structure that enables not only "on-the-fly" alterable chip and similar device reconfigurations, but, where desired, self-modifying reconfigurations for differing functionalities of the devices, eliminating current serious reconfigurability limitations and related problems, while providing significantly enhanced system performance at low cost. A large amount of memory is available internal to the FPGA and is accessed with a small number of pins such that the reconfiguration time is, for example, four orders of magnitude faster than the traditional approaches and at notably low cost.

Abstract: A system for generating a liner tube for an underground pipe while material is flowing through the pipe, incorporates a liner winding assembly, a carriage assembly connected to the liner tube being formed, a towing device for generating a pulling force on the carriage assembly and the liner tube being formed, and a liner hub assembly fixedly connected to the liner tube for operatively connecting the carriage assembly with the liner tube. The liner winding assembly includes a feeding and driving device for feeding liner material into the underground pipe, a device for forming the liner material into a liner tube, and a mounting device for fixedly mounting the feeding and driving device and the forming means in the underground pipe. The feeding and driving device generates a driving force to move the liner tube into and through the underground pipe as the liner tube is being formed. The carriage assembly is operatively connected to a front end of the liner tube, and includes a structure for movably supporting the carriage assembly as the liner tube moves into and through the underground pipe. The carriage assembly further generates a torque on the liner tube as the towing device is pulling the carriage assembly. The liner hub assembly is fixedly connected to the liner tube, whereby the pulling force of the towing device translated into the torque of the carriage assembly is operatively exerted on the liner tube releasing the liner tube from obstructions.

Abstract: The invention belongs to the field of Orthopedic Surgery, Traumatology and Distraction Osteogenesis and consists of a telescopic unit used in an external fixation system, as well as of an external fixation system with telescopic units and has a wide range of applications in all therapeutic surgical practices which today use systems of external fixation. The telescopic mechanism carried by each unit of the system, in combination with the way the telescopic units are attached to the rod of the system, allow for each held pin the choice of five degrees of free spatial movement and, indeed, separately and independently of the rest of the held pins. Furthermore, it offers a wide range of choices to the user, with regard to the number of the telescopic units and the combination of the components he will choose to place on the rod, in order to achieve the best, in his opinion, stabilisation of the bone to be restored, while, for the same reason, he may incorporate in the system a second rod with the same wide range of choice, number of telescopic units and combination of components he will choose to place, which he will attach to the first rod. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a rotation-symmetric ultrasound horn for realising circular sealings for liquid-tight joining together of, for example, packaging container parts. The ultrasound horn is connected to an ultrasound source (19) which supplies the horn axially via a supply end (2). The horn displays an opposing, tubular working end (3) with a circular work surface (5), the mean diameter of the tubular part varying along the axis of the horn so that the horn, in the region of the work surface, is of greater mean diameter and cross-sectional area than in a region located between the work surface and the supply end of the horn. As a result of this design and construction, the initially axial ultrasound waves are given a radial component of sufficient amplitude to realise welding of thermoplastic material along the circular work surface of the horn.

Abstract: The filter element is held preheated in readiness. The used element is exchanged with the new, at the same location. The element is supplied with melt, when switched over, ahead of the molding cavity. The stage is repeated, until melt reaches the molding cavity directly. After each injection, the supply line to the cavity is closed and the injection process is repeated, until the filter element is used. An Independent claim is included for corresponding equipment. This includes a three-way valve (33) in the supply line following the filter element (21). A branch (36) on the line has a blow-down vessel (37). The slide valve (61) moves perpendicular to the main axis of the connecting line (35). It moves into a position where it can receive the filter element from the piston unit (66). The old element is ejected, the new is inserted. The piston cylinder unit has a preheater. Preferred features: During passage through the filter element, the melt is thermally influenced. The melt in the filter undergoes annular external heating.
